Chapter 19
“Do you still remember Bryan, Anya?”Carla suddenly asked. Anya got appalled. She turned to her who was just innocently pouring her beer.
“I don’t want to remember it, Carla. It’s been a long time. I’ve moved on.”Anya said boldly. She doesn’t want to worry anymore. That complicated thing happened a long time ago in her life.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Carla laughed sarcastically. That what she said was the most hilarious words.”Don’t make me a fool, Anya. I know you still love him. I know you still hurt because of that worthless man!”
She was silent at what Carla said. She was caught off guard because it was true. She was still hurting, that even the most handsome man Andrius did not heal her wounded heart. Sure, she liked Andrius. But, her feelings for Bryan was deep. He was her first love and they were about to get married. But, he left. He left because of Carla. Her best friend. And she could not accept that he loved her friend but she was the one he courted. Very stupid.
“I’m sorry about Bryan, Anya. I didn’t know he loved me. I didn’t like him. I respected our friendship. But he is stupid! Men are stupid!”Carla said as she continued to sob.
Anya’s chet tightened when he remembered that thing. It was a long time ago, but it still lingers in her memories. She knew she was unfair. She was using Andrius to forget that she was once a miserable girl. She hoped that he would replace Bryan in her heart. That Andrius would heal the wound created by her first love.
Andrius was such a tease. He was very playful for her but he was kind too. She liked being with him. She liked his company. She was happy when he was with her. And she admitte to herself that she was not dumb. She knew she liked him. And she thinks she was getting there. Andrius already made a small way to enter her heart. And, she couldn’t wait to finally be healed because of him.
Because of the thought she suddenly missed Andrius. She did not even realize that the beer she was drinking had run out. She took another one and drank it. She will get wasted tonight, just like Carla said earlier.
“I will do everything to know who’s the bitch, Anya. I will never let her have him. He is mine!!”Carlas suddenly shouted.
Anya looked at Carla and nodded. She would not contradict her for now. Maybe she was just drunk so she said things like that.
“Can you help me, Anya?”she added, after.
Surprised, Anya nodded in agreement. She felt Carla stand up so she supported her towards the couch and laid her down. She even patted her shoulder when she saw that she was getting close to sleep.
“Tomorrow, everything will be alright, Carla. The pain will fade and a new love will grow,”she whispered.
Carla smiled and said,”Thank you, Anya.”
Anya moved away from her a little. When she felt dizzy she sat down again. Surprisingly, she drank only two bottles of beer. She took the can and saw it was Smirnoff Mule, not so hard drink.
Anya shook her head and smiled to herself. Sometimes really, she was a fool. She took the cellphone out of the bag and called Andrius. Without getting an answer she frowned. She squeezed her senses first and decided to stand up again. She even peeked at Carla and when she saw that she was sound asleep she decided to go home.
She closed Carla’s condo carefully before continuing to the elevator. She can now walk properly. Beer helped to relieve the pain in the middle of her thigh. Nevertheless, she was sober but not drunk.
When Anya was in the hotel lobby, her phone suddenly rang. She took it inside her bag and looked at who was calling. She smiled instantly, when she read the name on the screen. It was Andrius.
“Hey, baby. You didn’t call me today. Is there any problem?”Andrius’voice was full of concern. She smiled hearing it. This was what she liked about him. He was caring, it just doesn’t seem obvious 8n his apperance.
“I’m okay, Andrius. Thank you for the concern. Can you pick me here? My head is throbbing. Please, Andrius,”she said pleading.
“Baby, you don’t need to beg. I’m your slave, Anya. Just a sec and I’m on my way to you, baby,”Andrius murmured before turning off the call.
Anya’s smile did not vanish. Her heart fluttered in an instant. Andrius Monterio was special to her and special to her heart too.
